What's New in IDLE 3.8.0 (since 3.7.0)
Released on 2019-10-14
======================================
bpo-36698: IDLE no longer fails when writing non-encodable characters
to stderr. It now escapes them with a backslash, like the regular
Python interpreter. Add an errors field to the standard streams.
bpo-13153: Improve tkinter's handing of non-BMP (astral) unicode
characters, such as 'rocket \U0001f680'. Whether a proper glyph or
replacement char is displayed depends on the OS and font. For IDLE,
astral chars in code interfere with editing.
bpo-35379: When exiting IDLE, catch any AttributeError. One happens
when EditorWindow.close is called twice. Printing a traceback, when
IDLE is run from a terminal, is useless and annoying.
bpo-38183: To avoid test issues, test_idle ignores the user config
directory. It no longer tries to create or access .idlerc or any files
within. Users must run IDLE to discover problems with saving settings.
bpo-38077: IDLE no longer adds 'argv' to the user namespace when
initializing it. This bug only affected 3.7.4 and 3.8.0b2 to 3.8.0b4.
bpo-38401: Shell restart lines now fill the window width, always start
with '=', and avoid wrapping unnecessarily. The line will still wrap
if the included file name is long relative to the width.
bpo-37092: Add mousewheel scrolling for IDLE module, path, and stack
browsers. Patch by George Zhang.
bpo-35771: To avoid occasional spurious test_idle failures on slower
machines, increase the ``hover_delay`` in test_tooltip.
bpo-37824: Properly handle user input warnings in IDLE shell.
Cease turning SyntaxWarnings into SyntaxErrors.
bpo-37929: IDLE Settings dialog now closes properly when there is no
shell window.
bpo-37849: Fix completions list appearing too high or low when shown
above the current line.
bpo-36419: Refactor autocompete and improve testing.
bpo-37748: Reorder the Run menu. Put the most common choice,
Run Module, at the top.
